Automatically checks for hardware, firmware, and operating system
dependencies, and installs only the correct ROM upgrades required by each
target server
Auto-Configuration Process
The auto-configuration process occurs when the user boots the server for the first
time. During the power-up sequence that occurs, the system ROM automatically
configures the system with defaults without needing any intervention. By default, the
auto-configuration process configures the system for the Microsoft Windows 2000
operating system and the English language. To change any default settings in the
auto-configuration process, such as the settings for language, operating system, and
primary boot controller, execute RBSU by pressing the
F9
key. After the settings are
selected according to the users preference, exit RBSU and reboot the server. For
more information on this process, refer to Chapter 3 of the
ROM-Based Setup Utility
User Guide
.
Boot Options
After the auto-configuration process completes, or after the server reboots upon exit
from RBSU, the POST sequence runs, and then the boot option screen is displayed.
This screen is visible for several seconds before the system attempts to boot from
either a bootable CD, floppy, or the hard drive. The menu on the screen allows the
user to make changes to the server configuration in RBSU, or run the System
Maintenance Menu. For detailed information about these options, refer to the
ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide
on the Documentation CD.
System Maintenance Menu
The System Maintenance Menu provides access to embedded server diagnostics
and RBSU.
To access the System Maintenance Menu, press the
F10
key when prompted from the
boot option screen. For more information on using the features of the System
Maintenance Menu, refer to the
ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide
.
